WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 7. The Queen waked and drove in the grounds this morning, acoompaniend by her Royal High ness Princess Beatrice. Her Royal Highness Princess Louise went out, attended by Madlle. B uer. Her Royal 11 , ghnces Princess Helena rode in the Riding School. His Rayal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel the Hon, J. Macdonald, arrived at the Castle last evening, and accompanied the Duchess of Cambridge to London this morning. The Duchess of Cambridge attended Divineser vice at St. George's Chapel yesterday afternoon. Her Royal Highness, attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lieutenant-Colonel C.ifton, left the Castle this morning for London. Earl Granville also left the Castle. Return of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Royal yacht Osborne, Commander George H. K. Bower, having the Royal standard flying at the main, made her appearance off Woolwich Arse nal yesterday, at a quarter before two p.m., having on board the Prince and Princess of Wales and suite on their return to England. The Osborne sailed from Antwerp at noon on Sunday, and, with the exception of a slight gale which rose soon after midnight, the passage was calm and favourable. The yacht arrived and anchored off the Girder Light, near Ramsgate, at half-past two yesterday morning, and awaited the mid-day tide to proceeo up the river. A notice to that effect was tele• graphed to the authorities at 'Woolwich from Capt. Bower at an early hour in the morning. Captain Gordon, C. 8., superintendent of military stores, then gave orders for the preparation of the T pier, so that a landing might be made with comfort at low tide. The arrangements were admirably exe cuted, the lower platform steps and pier throughout being decorated with bunting and carpeted with clean tent cloths. The tide had begun to ebb, and the yacht, assisted by a couple of tugs from the dockyard, succeeded, after some little delay, in turning and facing the stream, and was brought up close alongside the pier. Prince Arthur, who had ridden down from the Ranger's house in Green wich Park (attended by Major Elphinstone, R.A.), then stepped on board and spent a few minutes with the Prince and Princess previously to their coming on deck. On their appearance soon after at the head of thegang way they were received by General Warde, commanding the garrison, attended by his aide-de. camp, Captain Williams ; Major Ord, Acting- Major of Brigade ; Captain Nangle, Deputy-Assis tant- Quartermester•General ; Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., and his secretary, Mr. Ponsonby ; Capt, Gor don, Superintendent of the Store Department ; Lieutenant-Colonel Clerk,Lieutenant- Colonel Shaw, and Captain Boyle, superintending officers of the Royal Carriage-square; Capt. Majendie, Instruc tor Royal Laboratories, and cfficere in full dress uniforms. Their Royal Highnesses both shook hands cordially with General Warde, and hav ing remained some minutes in conversation on the maindeck of the ship, they were escorted by the officers above named to their carriages at the entrance to the pier. Both the Prince and Princess appeared in excellent health,and graciously acknow ledged the salutations of numbers of spectators who had assembled on the landingeplace. A Royal salute was tired from the flagship Fisgard on the Osborne's being sighted in the offing at Woolwich, and the Royal standard was hoisted on the arsenal flagstaff, but no other demonstrations were observed in conse quence of an official order from the War Department desiring that the reception should be "as quiet as possible" by the Prince's special desire. They were attended by Mrs. Grey, Lieut.• General Knollys, Colonel Keppel, and D. Minter (Inspector• Genera of Hospitals and Fleets), and a large number of ser vents. Their Royal Highnesses, accompanied by Mrs. Grey, left Woolwich in the first carriage, and drove direct to London, and the remainder followed;; the luggage being conveyed in a couple of spacious fourgons. The Osborne is under orders to replenish with fuel at the dockyard and afterwards proceed to Portsmouth. Princess Louis of Hesse. The following is the latest bulletin issued re specting the Princess Alice : " Her Royal Highness the Princess Louis is now completely convalescent, and, as well as the young princess, is in good health. No more daily bulle tins will now be issued. " Dr. PRIESTLEY. " Dr. WEBER. " Darmstadt, Nov. 4, 1864."

The royal and imperial party returned this even ing, and at ten o'clock the Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duke Constantine left Berlin by special train on the Lower Silisian Railway for St. Petersburg. The King, the princes, and the members of the Russian Embassy were present at his Majesty's departure. Prince Gortschakoff, who had had several conferences with M. Bismarck, re turned to St. Petersburg on the previous day. VIENNA, Nov. 3. The Augsburg Garage states that the departure of Lord Bloomfield from Vienna, on three months' leave of absence, during the late political crisis, has given rise to much astonishment. The departure was so sudden that a mem ber of the English embassy, at Munich, was telegraphed for to take charge of affairs, as the first secretary at Vienna was ill. The well known cause of his lordship's hasty de parture, however, was the, condition of Lady Bloomfield, who, it is stated, was suffering from a chest complaint. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough House yesterday shortly after their arrival. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will shortly honour the Earl and Countess of Derby by his Con:. pally at Knowsley Park, Lancashire. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester, who came to town on Saturday from Kimbolton Castle, Hunts, left yesterday for Knowsley Park, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby. The Duchess of Somerset and Lady Gwendoline St. Maur have left the Admiralty for Balstrode Park, Bucks. The Duke of Rosburghe has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel irom Floors Castle. Prince P. Wittgenstein and Count Demiddi have arrived at Long's Hotel. Tho Elrl and Countess of Wilton were to leave Heaton Hall yesterday to join a party visiting the Earl and Countess of Derby at Knowsley Park. The Eirl and Countess Spencer are residing at St. Leonardo, and not receiving company at Althorp Hall. " TOM THUMB" is about to visit England with his wife and child. MR. HERBERT, R.A., left England for the East on Saturday last, It is his intention, it is said, to remain there some months, with a view to collect 'materials for the execution of other works of a similar character to filet which has excited so much admiration in the Peers' Robing Room. Mr Herbert is accompanied by his son, Wilfred himself an artist of considerable promise. AMONG MR MILLAIS'S CONTRIBUTIONS to the forthcoming Exhibition of the Royal Academy will be an oil picture of, the design which formed so valuable a part of his illustrations to " The Parables," representing the " Devil sowing Tares"; also a picture having for subject Mr Tennyson's " Oh, swallow, swallow, flying south." The former will form the artist's diploma picture at the Itoild Academy. The National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, The opening meeting of the department of Jurisprudence and Amendment of the Law was held last night at the office of the society, 1, Adam-street, Adelphi. The chair was taken by the Right Hon. Lord Brougham, and on his right sat M. Berryer, the distinguished French advocate, and M. Deemarest, batonnior of the French bar. Among those present we observed the Attorney. General, Sir F. Kelly, M.P., Q C.; Sir P. Cochrane, Judge of Gibraltar; Sir Eardley Wilmot, Mr Daniell, Q C., Mr Forsyth, Mr D. Lee, the Right Hon. the Judge-Advocate, Sergeant Pulling, Sergeant Burke, Sergeant A kinson, Sergeant Parry, Su.- gean, Simm, Mr Newt). M.P., the Hon. G. Denman, the Hon. D. Campbell, W. Hawer, &cll., J. Parkes, Esq.., Mr Macqueer, &c. The entry of the two illustrious strangers was hailed with warm app'ause. Mr G. W . HASTINGS, general secretary, then read an address from the standing committee, which in the first in stance alluded to the able address of Sir William Erle, Chief Justice cf the Common Pleas, at the last meeting of the association, held at Nork in September last, upon the present condi .ion of English law, especially the absence of a digest of recorded decisions by the different equity and common law courts. It referred to the evils which at present ari e from the want of an organisation of ,the profession throughout the country, and the want cf authority to col.- red the evils and irregularities which arise on various occa --ions. The patent law was next alluded to, and it suggested that patent cases should bo tried without a jury, but with the aid of scientific men. The bankrupt law was next brought under consideration, and it was said that it now gave great dissatisfaction to the mercantile eommunity, and referred to the opinion given by the committee which sat on the subject during the last session of Parliament. The in quiry was to be renewed in the next session, when it was hoped the difficulties surrounding the question would be re moved. The report, in conclusion, stated the present meet ing was called a week earlier than usual in order to have the honour of receiving their two distinguished visitors—one of whom was the most illustrious advocate of the French bar, and the other the official head of that bar. (Cheers.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in moving that the report be received and printed, said it called attention to many sub• jects of the greatest interest and importance, and in a manner which would recommend them to the serious consideration of all who were called upon to deal with them practically. On this occasion he could not, of course, avoid giving expression to his own feel ings, and the feelings of these around him, as to the in teresting circumstance which led to the assemblage of the members being so large. They certainly hoped to show Berryer to-morrow that the English bar was more numerous than anybody that could be contained in that room, which was devoted only to the deliberaions, in a private way, of a society whose object was the amendment of the law. He should not be surprised if M. Berryer saw one of the finest and most ancient of the halls in the metro polis as well filled to-morrow night by members of the bar as now was that room to which many were unable to ob tain admittance. lie believed ho expressed the unanimous feeling of the profession when he said they were proud to see him, proud to honour him, and felt highly honoured by his presence. (Cheers.) Sir F. KELLY, in seconding the motion, said it was im• possible for him to express his gratification in meeting on such an occasion by far the most illustrious member of the bar of present generation—in seeing nindividual anative of that country in which A Fran ce known who being t o the great changes had taken place within tho memory of all of as—in its Government, in its constitution, and in its des iny—had ever remained faithful to the purest principles af.liberty, and to the independence of the bar and the people. (Cheers) They also saw before them a very eminent and able member of the French bar—one who had by the members of his profession been elected to the high end honourable office of batonnier of the bar of France, el. Desmarest, whose reputation was not only good and brilliant in his own country, but had spread throughout Europe and the world. He had come amongst them to show his appreciation of the bar of England--it was not the first time—and to declare, as he hoped he would have an opportunity of doing to•morrow, that amongst the members of the English bar and the bgr of France, as well as of every bar throughout Europe, the principles of liberty and independence prevailed—that there was ao substantial difference of opinion between them, and that they were all united together by a spirit of fraternity. He therefore re joiced that, under the presidency of their illustrious leader, Lord Brougham, they should once, at least, in his great career be honoured by the presence of such eminent per sonages. The hon. and learned gentleman then spoke in terms of praise of the address of Sir J. Wilde at York, and said they could not hope for any success in the codification of the law until they had settled upon some satisfactory principle for the complete consolidation of the statutes. lie expressed himself in favour of allowing the counsel for the defence in criminal cases to sum up the evidence, and if other reforms in the law which he hoped would soon be carried into effect. After a few words from Mr. lIEADLAM, M.P., Lord BROUGHAM quite agreed with the Attorney-General that it was not to be expected he gliouid opinions on dust occasion upon the various points in the address of the Association. Indeed, no opinions were expressed in the ad tress, it being simply a statement of the different subjects which required consideration ; and he doubted whether any one would question that they did require consideration. Ile was struck with one or two things, and partially the changes in the decisions of the courts and the authority of the de cisions. He wall remembered a most distinguished gentle man answering a question of his—whether the case of rhompson v. Jackson was now reckoned an authority. His answer was, that it was a good authority in every case in which the plaintiff's name was Thompson and the defend• ant's name was Jackson, but that it would not go much farther, (Laughter,) Something was said about the impel , tant attempt repeatedly made to extend the measure allow ing the admission of the parties to give evidence in civil cases to criminal cases, where the party tendered himself and wished to be examined, and where, of course, he would be subjected to a sifting cross-examination. That any one should be compelled to be cross-examined, and particu larly cross-examined by a judge with all the information before him, and with every other means for cress-examina tion, as in France —and this was ono of the very worst parts of the French criminal procedure—to any provision of that kind ho would be strenuously opposed ; but he thought the tccused in a criminal case might be examined under the circumstances he had mentioned. The noble lord concluded by expressing his pleasure at the meeting being attended by .he distinguished visitors who had honoured them with their presence. The motion for the adoption of the report was then utast oimou.ly agreed to. M. BERRYER (who spoke in French, and was loudly cheered) said he was much indebted to Lord Brougham for having introduced him to such an assembly, and that he had listened with a dmiration—and even with a certain jea lousy—to the discussion that bad taken place upon the amendment of the law. He concluded by claiming the honour of becoming a member of the association, (Cheers.) M. DESMAREST, who was also warmly greeted, said he hoped to-morrow t o address another assem bl y i n h i s own language; but he asked permission, in the familiar meeting of that evening, to speak a little English. He h a d reasons for doi ng so. He confessed he was afra i d to speak French by the sid e o f hi s ill us t r i ous ne i g hb our —th e co mparison in their native language would be too dan- He should not, however, escape that but he was perfectly resolved to be dan gerous. beaten er:guesr.h then.to ; (morrowgter.) (Laughter.) But that night he profited ry their indulgence; and as he did not speak in his native lan guage he had a chance of not being completely understood by that most dangerous sweetness which could cross-exa mine him if ho spoke in French, (Laughter.) Among the things which Sir Fitzroy Belly had said, what particularly touc hed him was his allusio n t o t h e i nternat i ona l sympathy w hi c h existed between the m em b ers of the b ar i n different countries. S om e years ago ho c onversed upon that feeling in Sp a in, Italy, and other countries of E urope w h ere h e h a d t ra velled. When ho h ad t he good ch ance t o come to Eng land he mot this so ciet y , under the able di rec ti on o f L or d heae. He accepted that, f or the feeling was in his Brougham at Glasgow, and became a member of it; and having enrolled himself under its banner, he subsequently attended its meetings a t Dublin, Edinburgh, and London. Ho could therefore bo ast of bein g a faithful soldi er o f th e , association.giaslto and(iiea already hear.) Its ai m was the unification of legislation, ready it had attained great results. Another international association had since been founded on the same basis and with the same objects in view, and it had held its meetings at Brussels, Ghent, and Am sterdam. Lord BROUGHAX—It is the elder daughter of the asso ciation. (Hear, hear.) M. DESMAREST hoped this family would grow for the benefit of mankind, and for the welfare and peace of all na tions. They were all interested in t hat object, and if the great and liberal Eng lish nation dir ected its thoughts to that end it further remarks wouldthe accomp lish arne gentleman for their hearty recep tion of him, an d resumed his seat amidst loud applause.

CAPTURE OF A GANG OF TITTERERS OF COUNTERFEIT COIN.-^WIII. Bolter, of Thrawl-stroet, Spitalfields, shoe maker; Wm. Richardson, of Dean-street, Fetter-lane, shoemaker; and John Byrne, of Harp-court, Farringdon street, who described himself as a " professional singer," were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with conspiring together and knowingly uttering a counterfeit half-crown piece to Mr Wm. Darlington, of the Golden Lion, 42, Wardour. street, Soho ; also with uttering a counterfeit half-crown piece to Mrs Maria Jackson, wife of Mr Jackson, of the Crown, 355, Oxford-street; and with uttering another counterfeit half-crown piece to Mr Braddick, 422, Oxford street. Mr Darlington said—Lest night a little before 6 o'clock the prisoners came into my house and caned for half a guar tern of gin. Bolter throw down a half-crown piece, and I gave him the change, 2s 3 . 11 Richardson took out his pocket-book and said he had an appointment with a gentle mad. I then looked at the coin, and finding it was a coun terfeit, I said, "You had better give me change back as the coin is counterfeit." Bolter gave me back the change, but said he had more change, and he did not want to change a sovereign. Richardson said he had 21d, and gave it to me, and the prisoners then lett, taking the counterfeit half-crown with thorn, but which I had marked. I followed them into Oxford-street, where they parted and joined again under the portico of the Pantheon. I then saw a constable and told him what I had eeen, and directly after the prisoners went into another publichouse, and on finding that they had passed the coun terfeit halt-crown there, they were directly taken into custody. Mrs Maria Jackson said—Richardson and Bolter came into our house yesterday evening, and Bolter called fur half a guar tern of gin. I served them, and Richardson gave me a half-crown piece, and I gave him the change, not suspecting the coin was bad. As soon as the prisoners left Mr Darlington came in and spoke to me, and I then found the coin was bad. Bolter had been in the house a second time, and passed a counterfeit two shilling piece to the barmaid in payment of half a quartern of gin. Mr Braddick said—Yesterday evening about eight Bolter came into my shop and took a loaf out of the window and tendered me a half-crown piece in payment. Just as I was giving Bolter change Richardson came in and took off my attention, and having been ill for a long time I was off my gnard. I put the coin in the till, and directly the prisoners left I found it was bad. Joseph Smith, 327 A, proved following and watching the prisoners for some time, accompanied by Mr Darling ton, and subsequently, with Pratt, 311 A, taking them into custody. Pratt, 311 A, said on searching Byrne he found a coun• terfeit half-crown in his - possession. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners for the attentance of the Mint authorities. THAMES. A MISTAXE.—A poor and decent woman, who was much agitated, and who gave the name of Anne Frances Mackenzie, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. A police-constable, No. 181 K, stated that at two o'clock this morning he found the prisoner stretched on the ground in Sutton-street, St. George-in-the. East. She was quite insensible, and be concluded she was dead drunk, and con veyed her to th e station-house. She continued cold and senseless. She was put before the fire and warmed, and the Inspector and himself chafed her hands and revived her. She had two or three fits, and the divisional surgeon of police was hastily summoned, who prescribed for her, and said she was not intoxicated, but ill, and subject to epileptic fits. He ordered her removal to the workhouse, and sho had just left there to answer the charge— Mr Paget—Not of drunkenness. She was not drunk. No, Sir, it was a mistake. She was treated kindly at the station-house, and we paid her every attention. Mr Pagot—l am glad to hear it. It is a very natural mistake indeed. She can go back to the workhouse. Witness—She has a home to go to. She is a very respect able woman and works in a pickling warehouse. The prisoner —I am subject to fits. lam very glad he did find me. Mr Paget—lt was very fortunate for you the policeman did finil you. You ought to be much obliged to him. The prisoner then left the court. The Yarmouth Beachmen and the Lifeboat. The following communication has been addressed by the secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution to a contem porary, in reply to some comments by it on the recent dis creditable conduct of the Yarmouth beachmen in refusing to go oft in the lifeboat to the rescue of the crew of the wrecked steamer Ontario on the Hasborough Sands : As you invite, by your interrogatives, some replies on the system of management of the lifeboats at Yarmouth, I trust you will insert the following remarks on that subject. The lifeboat system which has hitherto prevailed there has been rather peculiar, There are, I believe, at that port between 200 and 300 beachmen. These are divided into six or seven companies, each company comprising from 30 to 40 men. These companies are banded together in some thing like a union, so that one company cannot undertake to work the lifeboat without the sanction of the rest. Hitherto the practice has been that one company under takes to work the lifeboat during a year, at the end of which period the boats are shifted to the charge of another eom pany. Again, when the lifeboats are launched to the help of a shipwrecked crew the men who have actually gone off in the lifeboat are compelled, by their own private rules, to share their reward with these " who have tarried at home to divide the spoil." It is clear, therefore, that there can be no great induce ment among men so situated for individual exertion or risk of life in cases of shipwreck. As the Young company had undertaken to work the life boat for a year, Mr Butcher, the local honorary secretary of the institution, had a reasonable right to expect that the beachmen would, at his direction, man the lifeboat on the 19th ult., and particularly as the men had never expressed to him any dissatisfaction with the institution. The question, then, naturally arises, can such a state of things be remedied ? It can only be brought about by the good sense of the beachmen themselves ; and it is hoped that on further consideration by the parent and branch Lifeboat Institutions a better plan than that which has hitherto ob tained at Yarmouth far manning the lifeboats will be adopted. Indeed, two of the companies have already con sented constantly to work ;the small surf lifeboat, which is intended to render assistance to the crews of vessels wrecked close to the shore. But the large lifeboat, 40ft long, is exclusively employed for sailing, and is nearly unmanageable in rough weather under oars. She is engaged to go off to the rescue of the crows of vessels wrecked on the numerous outlying sand banks, some of which are many miles from Yarmouth. In 1857 the two Yarmouth lifeboats were brought into connexion with this institution. Since then the large life boat has saved six lives from the brig Zephyr, of Whitby. The boat was towed out by a steamer. It was a noble ser vice, and the Yarmouth beachmen showed then what they could do in such cases. For that service the lifeboat's crew received from the institution £23, and £2O was also given to the steamer. This same lifeboat has also gone off sines 1857 to 13 other vessels in distress, but the services of the boat on these occasions were happily not required, because the vessels had either got out of danger or their crews had been rescued by other means. For these latter services the men received altogether from the National Lifeboat Institu• tion £l4l lOs GI. Again, it should be stated that during the past six years their small surf lifeboat has saved 26 shipwrecked persons, and that fur these and other services the institution has paid the men £B6 IGs. In conclusion, I trust you will allow me to add a few words on the general system of management on the coast of this society's lifeboats. With the exception of those at ono or two places, our boatmen and fishermen, be it said to their great credit, are ever ready in cases of emergency to man the lifeboats of the institution. It is true that the lifeboats are the first of their class, that their crews have the utmost confidence in their qualities, and that, in addition to the inexpressible satisfaction of aiding to save a fellow-creature from a pre mature death, the crows are new certain of a stipulated amount for their laudable services. Their pecuniary rewards for such services consist of lOs to each man comprising the lifeboat's crow for day service, and 20s per man for night duty. those rewards being totally irrespective of the num ber of lives saved as you supposed. Indeed, it occasionally happens that the lifeboat puts off sometimes during a midnight storm to a vessel which was showing signals of distress. By the time the lifeboat has arrived at the spot the vessel has got out of danger. The lifeboat's crew are, of course, paid precisely the same as if their boat had returned freighted with a shipwrecked crew. In the report of the ineeting of this institution in the news papers of this day it will be seen that the crew of the Teign mouth lifeboat received £l3 for saving one man. On the recommendation of the local committee the lifeboat crews are paid double the amount of the usual scale if they incur extraordinary risk or exposure, either in saving or attempt ing to save life ; and in the event of a fatal accident occur ring to a lifeboatman it has been the practice for the insti tution immediately to undertake to make temporary provi sion for his widow or those dependent on him. As soon as the return of the service is received at the institution a chock to pay the men is usually sent off by that night's pest. Altogether the system of manning the society's lifeboats has hitherto worked admirably on the coast, the men thoroughly understanding the nature of their implied con tract with the institution. Last year the boat swore manned on all by about 6,000 men, and providentially not a Ma was lost from them. Wherever a lifeboat has been established the object of the National Lifeboat Institution is by means of the quarterly exercise of the boat, to accustom the ablest boatmen or fishermen of the place to its use in cases of shipwreck. These aro all volunteers, for it would be absolutely iruprac ticable to keep throughout the year so large a body of men in the permanent pay of any charitable institution, in addi tion to the faot that in the event of any member of a perma nent paid crow on an emergency being absent from illness, I or any other cause, it would perhaps be difficult to supply his place.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD LEWIS, Secretary, Royal National Lifeboat Institution. 14, saillu-street, Ade lphi, W.C., Nov. 6. The Convict Muller. Up to last evening Franz Mailer, now under sentence of death in Newgato, had shown no inclination to confess the crime of which he has been conviaed.:Knowing, as there is reason to believe he does, though the fact has been care fully concealed from him by the prison authorities, that efforts aro being made by the German Society to procure a commutation of the sentence, his reserve occasions no surprise. The impress'on among the authorities is that, if he confess at all, it will not be until the very last. Yes terday, again, Mr Sheriff Beeley paid him Et visit, as did also the Rev. Mr Walbaum, the minister of the German Chapel, in St. James's e who has spent some time with him daily deco his conviction. The convict also attended the service in the chapel. He has always shown a disposition to profit by the rciigious consolation which has been off.ired him since he received seutencc, but in other respects he has been reserved, cold, and unimpressional,le, without in the least, however, being disrespectful to those about him. As early as 7 o'clock yesterday morning the members of the German Legal Protection Society are said to have had a meeting at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury-square, for the purpose of settling the draught of the memorial they mean to pre sent to the Home Secretary. Before separating the memorial was unanimously adopted, and they resolved to forward it to Sir George Grey on Wednesday morning. In the meantime a Special Commi,tee of the Society are publishing an elaborate report, describing minutely the whole of the steps they have taken from first to last to clear up what they regard as the mystery attending the murder, and particularly to ascertain the movements of the prisoner about the time of its commission, and how he came into possession of the watch and chain of Mr Briggs. It is, in fact, the whole story of the defence told over again, and embodying besides etatements which were not legally ad missible in evidence on the trial, but which they regard as throwing additional light upon the matter, and justifying the course tliey took in defending him. Adverang to the alibi, they say— " The distance from Stanley Cottage was measured, and it was ascertained that, taking into consideration all circum stances—as for instance, the lamtness of Muller—it would take 20 to 25 minutes to walk from the house to Camberwell gate. The journey by omnibus to King William-street, after riding at different times and in different omni • buses, was found to take 20 to 30 minutes. Therefore, supposing the statements of the Joneses and of Muller in New York to be true, Muller, after having left Stanley Cottage at half-past 9 o'clock, could not have been in King William-street before 10 minutes or a quarter past 10. con sequently could not possibly have been the perpetrator or abettor of the murder in the railway carriage at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock." They relate the following as the account given by Muller himself to a member of their body and to Mr Board, their solicitor, at the Bow-street police-station on the same evening he arrived in London from New York : " Atter the exchange of some kind words and a solemn exhortation to adhere strictly to' the truth, Muller declared that on Saturday evening the Bth of July he had left his friend Haifa at Mr Itepsch's house, where he had had tea, and had taken an omnibus at the corner of Fenchurch• street and Gracechurch-atreet for Camberwell. He had been lame at the time in consequence of his having been run over on the Thursday, and therefore wore a red carpet slip per on his right foot. Near the gate he had left the omnibus to walk to a house in George-street, Camberwell, New-road, He declined to give the address of the house. On coming back he had had a glass of ale at a pu'elio house on the lett side, before coming to the gate, from the Elephant and Castle, and had entered into conversation with the bar keeper. The house was about 200 yards from the toll-gate, and could bo recognised by its standing for ward and being bounded by two streets. There always were eheoblack boys in front of it. The bar-keeper was a young man of average size, with dark hair, whis kers, and a beard on his chin. By this description it must be easy to recognise him. After half-past 10, to his belief, he had left Camberwell-gate in an orange omnibus had ridden to the Monument in King William-street, and walked from there 0 the Bank, in order to take his omni bus from Threadneele-street to Hackney. As it already had left, he had walked home to Old Ford-road, and reached it about half-past 11, His landlady and the other lodgers had already gone to bed. On his way home he did not meet with any friend or acquaintance, nor did he call anywhere, The omnibus from Camberwell to King William-st., con tained besides him four persons —an old gentleman with dark hair and dark whiskers, two young ladies, and a little girl. The conductor was of average height, wore a hat and a long coat which had no buttons at the tack. His face was small, dark, and pock-marked ; he wore a white and black chequered neckerchief. When he entered the omnibus, a brown dog, which was flying at a boy in the etrcet opposite the publichouse, caused a crowd." On the all important aulject of the hat, proved at the trial to have been that of Mr BY iggs, the committee says : " The hat which had been found in his possession at New York he had bought, between May 14 and 20, at the shop of Mr Digance, for 14s Gd. He remembered the occasion very well, because at the same time, as he used to do at Whitsun tide, he had bought a new suit. The two Repsches must remember this, as they had seen him in his new suit. He left the hat Mathews had bought for him at the shop. The lining of this hat was dark and had blue stripes." In connection with this story, it should be borne in mind that Mr Digance's shopman, of whom the prisoner must have bought the hat, if he bought it there at all, seeing that Mr Digance never sold him a hat, and that he has only one shopman, a person who has been with him for the last 12 years, has been confronted with the prisoner in his cell since his conviction, in the presence of Mr Beard, and that on the one hand Muller failed to recognise him, and on the other the shopman said he had no recollection of havieg seen him before. The committee proceed to say : " With regard to the watch and chain, Muller declared he had left the house of Mr Repsch at about ten minutes to 8, had gone to Mr Hudgkinson to see Haifa, had not found him (vide the statements of Haifa and Mr Hodgkinson't3 foreman), and had then immediately gone towards the Lon don Ducks in order to enquire about the time of sailing, and if possible to take his ticket at the same time. He arrived at the docks at half-past 8. He found a German porter in the office near the ship Victoria, but as he could not get his ticket he was about to leave the docks again. About DU yards from the office, in the passage to the warehouses, a pedlar offered him a watch and chain for sale. He held these things in his hand, and took some rings and chains and another watch from his coat pocket. The pedlar was of middle height, had a small face with prominent cheek bones, brown whiskers, and close-shaved skin; he had a small cut or scar on his lip, and wore a Melton morning coat. When the things were offered to him for £0 he had only £4 and three hall-crowns in his pocket. Tho seller of the things refused to ao, - .ei,t £4, and Muller went on, but camo back on the second thought that the watch and chain must be worth more, because the £4 were refused by the pedler, and might make a good bargain, and offered three halt-crowns-7s 6d —more, The pedlar took the offer. While on his way home, and calculating how by the sale or pawning of the things bought he might make a profit so as to be able to redeem his own watch and chain, which he had pawned some weeks ago ha Whitechapel, and of the value of which —£9— he was fully aware, he was disturbed by the thought that the things bought might be 1 not real gold or valueless. He at once determined to ga to Mr Death's in Cheapside, and by changing the chain as , certain its value and that of the watch." The words in italics aro so put bp the committee. " After Muller had spent his money in purchasing the watch and chain, he resolved to pawn the chain he had ex changed. He got £1 108 in the Minories, and sold the ticket to his friend 'Jaffa for 12s. Thus he became possessed of £2 2s. From a mark he thought the watch he bought at the docks a valueble one, and determined to keep it. With the £2 ho redeemed his own watch which he had pawned at the Minories, and asked his friend fur the loan of £l, in order to redeem the chain also, and then on Wednesday morning pawn both together at the West-end for a higher price. He received £1 in Princes-street, and sold the ticket, as proved, to Glass for £1 ss, The one pound lent wat deducted. Besideo, he received from Mr Itepsch, who owed him £1 2s, 14s; from Mr Mathews, 3s Gd; for a coat he pawned, Gs. With the money thus acquired ho bought on Wednesday his passage-ticket for £l, a mattress for 7s Gd, and pail la porterage. The 12s found upon him at New York he got by the sale of a coat and a pair of trousers, When asked why, at his arrest at New York, ho had told a lie about the watch, he declared that nothing but the sur prise and fright of the moment had induced him to do so. With regard to the hat, ho said Inspector Clarke must be mistaken, as the minutes of his examination at New York could easily prove; only with regard to the watch he had told an untruth." 2 hese are the more material parts of a document extend ing over three columns of an ordinary newspaper, and which is described as " Part first," the rest being to follow. BREAKFAST BEVERlGE.—Hommopathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt dned no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied In the crude state or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. lip i,s, of London, liomceopathie Chemist, was induced in the year 1539 to turn his attention to this subject, and at length he succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the fi rs t to produce an article pine in its composition, and so refined by the perfect ti ituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Eppe's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. liassall, In his work "AdulteratioA of Food," says -" ocoa con' ains a great variety of important nutritive principles every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutri tive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk.

' Yesterday bOMO further charges of gunpowder and gun cotton were fired into the foundaions of the tower, which on Saturday resisted displacement, with the view of gradually weakening and undermining it at the base. Owing to the close proximity of a a hole terrace of inhabited houses in the Cromwell-road, immediately facing, this portion of the ex perimental operations and removal has to be carried out with extreme carp and circumspection, the distance between the terrace and the tower extending only over the immo • diate roadway of some Oft. -
